I will Believe the Book of Mormon as history when...

I didn't see justme's reference, just this one of yours:

beastie:
Well, had you read my essays, you would see that they are comprised largely of citations from scholars in the field.

Jersey Girl
So are JustMe's.

At any rate, as long as his essays aren't about something that bores me (like the Book of Abraham), I'll read at least a few.

I'll read at least some.

None of em are peer reviewed, it's a waste of your time - GRIN!

Oh dear god.

Here are his words:

I sincerely hope MANY people answer your question here Jersey Girl. Because I am told non-stop that peer review has to happen or nuthin said is worth spit (especially the pro-Mormon junk I write, and its assumed junk from the outset without even reading what I write!). I absolutely disagree with this, but others disagree with my disagreement, so I am seriously curious about it myself. A GREAT question!

He said something prior to that remark as well. I'll dig it up.

Never do that to me, beastie. It makes me doubt myself.

What am I, the resident Go-Fer around here? Here are his words from page ten, about the third post from the bottom going up.

When I say that about my own research, I get laughed to scorn. Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't do the same here? Again, why read your stuff if it is not peer reviewed? I get this argument all the time against my own research from just such an one as yourself. Your kind gives me that argument. No peer reivew, no value. So...... are your materials peer reviewed? If not what value are they really? If my materials, which are easily as well researched as yours are, are not worth reading until published in scientific journals, what is it that makes yours so valuable? Your word only? I'm sorry, but that is merely self-serving. That is what I am told. I even challenge others as you have me here. You have to actually read my materials to see if they are valuable. But all I seem to get is if they are not peer reviewed and published in valid scholarly journals they ain't worth my time. So likewise with yours. It SUCKS. Get used to it, or publish and then crow about what value your writings have. That's what I am told from folks on these boards, I shall return the same sentiment.

I don't get paid for this stuff, ya know.

I didn't ask you to prove it, Jersey Girl. I accepted that I simply missed it. I just want to see what his essays are about, that's all. Apparently they're too special for him to share.

Not really. I am just trying to figure out when I want it to be known who I am around here. Trust me, once you get to my website you'll know who I am. And then, of course, we shall see the ad-hominims arive! lol.......

My goodness, you'd better be some extremely well known apologist, or people will feel very let down, and you'll be embarrassed when no one cares.

God beastie. Seriously. He stated so in his posts [i]to you[/u]. I referred to them. If you're not going to read the flippin' thread and the replies that are given to you, don't jump down my throat when I point them out to you.
